Welcome to episode 37. Actually 37. Of Did You Say Something? Uh Hey, we figured it out. Finally getting there. God, it's gonna be a lot easier now that we've dropped the point fives. Yeah, now that we just started doing less math. Yeah. Yeah. Well maths has never been my strong point. You could ask anyone that knows me.
SPEAKER_03I'm there with you.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I still count on my fingers.
SPEAKER_01Oh, same.
SPEAKER_03As we know.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I can only count to four. Uh no, literally just uh dropping dropping the boys back with their mum. And uh my eldest uh was asking, uh what's nine plus nine? I thought, well that's nice and easy, that's eighteen. Okay, and then what's eighteen plus nine? And my brain just went shit. And then because I was trying to focus on driving, obviously, uh counting on my fingers, and I was like, wait, just add ten, take away one, dipshit. Yeah, so then I tried to teach him that, and then that confused him more. Like, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Okay, you're my one hope, buddy. I can't. You're the smart one. I don't want to taint your brain with my shit knowledge.
SPEAKER_03What are you saying? He is smart, the other one's not though.
SPEAKER_01He's more athletic, he's a bruiser.
SPEAKER_06Like, honestly, he that was way too quick to not be true.
SPEAKER_01All he wants to do is fight me, and I love it. Like the other day he came up and sort of just punched me in the leg. I was like, excuse you, he's like, I want to fight. I'm like, it's not gonna end well for you, buddy. But then, you know, adopt the stance and then yeah, and end up just wrapping him up. I was teaching him how to put me in a chokehold though. That was quite fun. He got a surprisingly good grip. I was like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Forgot to teach him about tapping. So he was like, Daddy, why are you hitting my arm? I'm like, it means let go, dude. I forgot the most important rule.
SPEAKER_03I would have loved that story even more if that was the case, is that he did end up just like putting you out. Yeah. Daddy, why are you playing dead?
SPEAKER_01What? Yeah. Uh yes. Sorry for that side quest uh already, but hey, the longer you stick around to the podcast, the lot the the quicker you'll realize it's kind of what we do here. Yeah. Make it stop. Here you go, man. Have this. It got 10,000 views. Created by yours, truly. I cry once a year. Okay, that's black. We can't ever just do something simple.
SPEAKER_03Shifty is prominent in this podcast. Uh, speaking of fighting too, uh, we had a black belt test this weekend and I was not testing, but uh I love to go and help and and get demonstrated on and all that stuff and just help them in their journey to get to their black belt, right? Yeah. And it's cool because I get to be an official witness as well. You know what I mean? Because you have to have so many witnesses and stuff like that that are black belts that have to approve on it and all that stuff. So but man, uh one of my students, uh Joyce, she's she's my first student that I brought from white belt to black belt, and she was going for her uh first degree. And she's in Screamastic, which if you don't know what a screama stick is, it's a bamboo stick. So look up Screamer fighting, and those are the sticks, the collie sticks they call them as well. Oh yeah. That's yeah, same, same, same, same, right? Uh screama is more the style, I guess. Collie stick would be is the style too. But yeah. I hate those includes. She was meant to have me grab the stick and then she would kind of fight for it. So as I went to pull, she would jab it into me. And then she does this move where she takes a stick of both hands and then just kind of shoves it up at the face, and then reality you would just nail somebody in the face. Uh the your upper lip, by the way, if you don't know, is a surprisingly sensitive pressure point. Uh-huh. So uh if you ever need to get somebody off of you, push something, an object, a pen, a marker or something like that.
SPEAKER_01You want to be careful how you're doing that gesture. As long as you don't point with your right hand anywhere up in the sky. Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, not going to that direction. Not at all. Uh direction, no.
SPEAKER_06You almost you almost almost nope, nope, slap.
SPEAKER_03Uh so anyway, uh, when we were doing the fast one, yeah, uh, she neglected to let me actually grab the stick, and so she just jabbed the butt end of it into my sternum, which made my head come down very quickly because I had no choice. And then she just plastered like bow all the way through my head, knocked my head back, all of that right into my nose. And it just instantly. What an accident. Oh no, you didn't grab the stick. Oh, that's a shame. Puff. I can't imagine why any of my students would want to hit me so bad. I can. I'm a great guy. I only say nice things. I'm an incredibly uplifting coach. Um, I I just don't know why. I mean, I'm the same person I am here as I am in the dojo, so that's gotta be fine, right?
SPEAKER_01Sure.
SPEAKER_03Anyway, so didn't break my nose, though. That's nice. I thought I was gonna do the show today with a couple of shiners, and that just would have made your goddamn day, that's for sure.
SPEAKER_01Fucking right it would have.
SPEAKER_03And I would have blamed it on Chanel.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Because you'd think after all these years, I'd learn to not talk back.
SPEAKER_01Don't disagree. I'd be interested to see how that would how Chanel would give you the black eyes, though, considering she is like what, kneecap hype?
SPEAKER_06Well, you're gonna find out after she watches us.
SPEAKER_01I'll be sure to wear my ankle guards. Howdy. Yes. Yeah. Yes. So what we thought we would do for this episode is uh have a look at some well some genius comments because we've had a genius comment on episode 36. That we did. I'm gonna go ahead and bring this up real quick. Yes, please do. So I can read it as is.
SPEAKER_03We need to highlight this moment in district. Like this is a massive milestone in district.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, there's a few comments to scroll through, which is also quite a big moment. People are actually finally engaging with us, which is great.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It just took us changing who we are. Uh adapting, as they say. Adapting. Adapting, yeah, not selling out at all. We would never do that here at Dis. Uh my mistake. I don't think it is episode 26. Only for the right amount of money. Only for the right amount of subscribers. Is it 35.5?
SPEAKER_07Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03I think it was 35.5. That's what you had told me.
SPEAKER_01Did I? I can't remember. Sort by newest?
SPEAKER_03I don't know. Uh I will say that we had some issues uh at the end of episode 36. Um I went to go look at some of the comments and they weren't loading. Uh I was having some some technical issues. I don't know. Rebooted my computer did the whole thing, but I don't know if you've been having any issues uh episode 36, but it's been a bit slow, and I don't know why.
SPEAKER_01It's it is starting to annoy me.
SPEAKER_03But it's whatever. Uh they'll fix it, I guess. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I mean, yeah that's I don't need to watch the episode. Uh newest. Here on episode 37, we're gonna watch episode 36. Oh, I mean, hey, this is uh literally a brand new comment that's just come in. Oh. Uh on episode 36. NS Music NS Music literally saved my life. Ren's music keeps me living. Thank you for covering two of my top three artists. Well, who's your third favorite? We'll cover them too.
SPEAKER_03That will be the comment live that you guys are getting on the show that Connor will type out now.
SPEAKER_01Well, who's your third favorite artist? And maybe we can cover them too. And reply.
SPEAKER_03That's the fun part about the comments and the subscribers they don't know is they don't know who's actually talking to them in the comments. So sometimes it's Con, sometimes it's me replying.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. The one I'm on about is from Jack Fly. Twelve hours ago. Loving your reactions and how excited you get, and how knowledgeable you are. And the animators for Down the Road blew it out of the water. So I'm somebody thinks we're knowledgeable on something. I'll take it. I'll take it all day long. Yeah. You uh you want to know my response?
SPEAKER_06Yes.
SPEAKER_01Glad you're enjoying our content. The animators did a cracking job for sure. Not sure about us being knowledgeable, just a couple of voice actors who love music. But glad we at least come across as knowledgeable. The ruse is working.
SPEAKER_03Slowly taking hold.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Slowly. Hopefully, we can manifest that we might actually be knowledgeable at some point.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and I do I do want to highlight that cut this other comment as well from Renegade999 said, Hey guys, love the show. First time watcher, and got a sub from me. Have you gone down the tales route yet? The tales of Jenny and Screech leading into Vincent's tale. If not, you're in for a ride. Would love to see you guys do them on the show. Uh make but make sure you have tissues. True Anagates here, and would really love to see you guys react to it. Much love and peace, dudes. Uh, which is awesome, which Connor also uh replied, thanks for the sub means a lot. We did the tales not too long ago. And as you guys, if you haven't seen them, go check out episodes 33.5 and 35.5 for our takes on the tales. Yes. Yes. Um, so it's good. Um thanks, thank you again, Ren, and now Webby, for the for the traction in our own podcast.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because we couldn't do it clearly. Not even our friends would comment on our episodes. But then would message in private. Hey, there's a great episode. Put it in the comments, please. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03It's all good. So yeah, uh, thank you everybody again. Um episode 36 was fantastic. Um, what a what a duo. Um that just and and in Webby's own words, I agree with him. He said, you know, this is probably the best album I've heard in the last 10 years. And in the first two songs, I'm like, man, and as a comment, someone had said, you know, how hard the music had hit them. And I said, same thing. Like, I haven't had a music hit me like this, quite like this in years. Um and yeah, Ren's originals and and and you know, the the tales and stuff like that absolutely hit me. Um and NF for sure, uh, on high levels, but this is something else. Um agreed. But yeah, cool. So look forward to more of your comments, more of your subs, share it out to the people, uh all your friends and all of that. Let's bring them in, let's have some more fun on this. And now uh I think Khan is ready. Let's let's uh let's check some other comments from other media and see what kind of gold. Because as you guys know, the gold is in the comments.
SPEAKER_01So here we have hello, this is Officer Kyle reporting for duty with some impressive uh impressive wanting flames tattooed on his legs. And one of the best comments is this is because firearms were not allowed.
SPEAKER_03I looked. If we're gonna start out like this, just you may need to start drinking again. Just to stomach it.
SPEAKER_01Oh god. I walked in on my girlfriend having sex with her personal trainer, me. Okay, this isn't working out.
SPEAKER_02I guess she was having a cheat day.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's genius. Oh, look at that. Uh for those audio listeners amongst you, uh, it is a picture of a truck driver who's got a projector and is projecting onto the trailer of um another truck. This trucker is living in 2099. Top comment? He's watching a trailer. What would you do if potato suddenly vanished? You reach for a bag of crisps or chips only to find it empty. All chippies are closed, kebab shops are in turmoil, donors are woefully incomplete. How long before society breaks down? Ireland Ah lads, not again.
SPEAKER_04And look at the name on that.
SPEAKER_01Spelt correctly as well. That's pretty that's pretty funny. That's good. Uh what's the difference between a tuna, piano, and a pot of glue? You can tune a piano, but you can't piano a tuna. And the glue? I knew you'd get stuck on that. God. This is like my worst nightmare.
SPEAKER_02Oh no, I love these.
SPEAKER_01I live for these jokes. I've I just uh I saw a video of one of the most underrated dad jokes I have ever seen. It's this dad, and he sat with a drink and he's got a straw, and it'll see that he goes to take a drink and it just keeps bubbling up. And he's I can't figure it out, and then he goes, Ugh, takes the straw out, turns it round, and then it works. And it really tickled me. Oh I forget you don't really live for puns.
SPEAKER_03I I I love puns, I do. It just depends, it really depends. But if it hits that popsicle stick joke, I kind of I struggle sometimes.
SPEAKER_01But you might like this one. Okay. Uh someone it's a it's a depiction of a very ripped Jesus. Someone know what part of the Bible describes the workout routine to get the body of Christ CrossFit Nailed it. Oh dear. There's some good ones here. Oh, that's um That's quite good. Uh Kumal Kum I can never pronounce names. Kumal uh Nanjina Nanjani. Yeah. Uh very, very big actor. A day may come when I am not mistaken for another brown actor, but it is not this day. Canal Nayar or Raj from uh the Big Bang Theory, every time I get recognized for you, I think, man, I wish it were true. Cal Penn, I have taken credit for both of your accolades in the last two weeks, so I guess I owe you each a photo, half a beer, and an awkward extended hug. Sarah Silverman with the Comedy Gold. Why do you have three accounts? That's pretty good. That is one of the most muscular dogs I think I've ever seen. Homie did 25 years in the animal shelter.
SPEAKER_02Jack Russell Terry.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_03Oh, come on. Dude. I'm gonna crash out. Like there's there's a funny one, and then there is bullshit like this. Okay, listeners. There is a plush large shark in somebody's house, and there is a dachshund or a weirdo dog hanging out of its mouth. Uh comment says that poor shark looks like he has a loose canine.
SPEAKER_07Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm. I I found one that I sent to you on one of our social media platforms. It is uh quite it's quite the phenomenon over here at the minute called walking football. So once you get past a certain age and running becomes an issue, you can do walking football so you still stay active and do the sport that you love, right?
SPEAKER_07Go.
SPEAKER_01So it's um an elderly woman with the football at her feet. And uh one of the best comment sections on a TikTok that I've seen in ages. Nan of the match. Yanan Crespo. I know these most of these are gonna be lost on you, but yeah for other football fans in the comments, these these should they should they should hit right. Roberto hair loss. Roberto Carlos, yeah. Uh Granny drinkwater. There was a football player called Danny drinkwater. Zimmer frame Zidane. I really like that one. Sergio Bus bus pass Nanny Ings Vinicius Sr. Instead of Vinicius Jr. I wish you liked football nanny Wellbeck.
SPEAKER_03Oh, speaking of that, uh you know what the World Cup's gonna be, right? Oh god, don't no.
SPEAKER_01You know you know where the World Cup's coming, right? I do. I do. Um and so far I've disliked everything about the promo.
SPEAKER_03Nah, of course you do, you're just anti-American. You know what the best part of that's gonna be is all the coverage and all the announcers from around the world will be calling it football, but all the coverage of the World Cup, it's gonna be soccer.
SPEAKER_01Yep.
SPEAKER_03All of it's gonna call it soccer.
SPEAKER_01The the thing that really gets me uh is I've seen uh obviously like uh American sports show hosts trying to big up the World Cup. Uh and they're talking about big names in world football. Yeah. Excuse me. Soccer. Uh Kylian Mbappe and you know, um uh Lamine Yamal, he you know, like these big names. So then they throw Christian Pulisic in there, who has been America's answer to Messi for God. Ten years now at least. And it uh he's never he's a good player, don't get me wrong. But he is not like elite level, and every American narrative is that he is the best player in the world, and it just sums up how close-minded and uh inward looking America is when it comes to homegrown talent and sports.
SPEAKER_03Uh speaking of Messi, Messi was uh about five minutes down the road from me last week. Playing against Real Salt Lake. Ah. I guess we'll have to go see uh Oh yeah, there's a pitch. Real Salt Lake's like literally down the street from me. Never been.
SPEAKER_01Fuck yeah. Well, when I come out, we'll we'll we'll go we'll go to a game.
SPEAKER_03Well, yeah, so you can torture yourself watching American football and then versus Oh wait. So you can't say it, can you? You can't say it American football because it's soccer. It's not, it's football. But you're in America watching our form, which means we're gonna go to a soccer game. It's the same as a football game, just worse. Well, not here. It's that's different. Football here is football. Soccer is soccer.
SPEAKER_07Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03So we'll we'll go watch a football game. Yep. And we could watch an American football game. Oh, so if you want to go watch football, yeah, we could probably go see the youths play, the college teams.
SPEAKER_01Um that's the other thing I don't get about uh uh uh like American football is how big the college teams and the college game, how like how big of a deal it is.
SPEAKER_03College is massive. College is huge.
SPEAKER_04It's crazy.
SPEAKER_01The only thing I can liken it to is like, you know, over here we've got uh uh you know under under 17s, under eighteens, under sixteens, uh you know, the the youth teams. It's the only thing I can liken it to, and uh, youth teams don't get anywhere near the turnout. Do your universities have teams Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Because that's what it is for us. It's univer for it's college. So it's univers it would be university guys like that age.
SPEAKER_01I don't think anyone has ever gone crazy to go see Cambridge versus Oxford football uh universities.
SPEAKER_03I mean, dude, they're they're crazier about college football over here than the I mean the NFL they're pretty crazy about, but yeah. I will tell you the fans, the college football fans here are closer to what soccer fans are there than our pro team. Like our college our college fans are nuts. Like they are, and it's great, but they go like ballistic. There's college fans are crazy. Some especially for the big teams like BAMI and and and USC and UCLA and a bunch of them. But yeah, the college is a big deal here, for sure.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it just it doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_03College basketball and college football, I should say, are are the big ones.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's fair. Uh which just baffles me. It really does.
SPEAKER_03It always has been. So like since I was a kid, since I grew up, like college has just always been a big deal. I don't know why. Just a massive deal. Well, partly. I mean, let's set aside the millions of dollars that are involved. Millions and millions. And now the college players can actually get NIL deals. So can get what? Sorry? Uh they get paid to go to college and play now, where that was illegal before, because they're supposed to be there for education and all of that, and then they play, but it's still their inlet into the NFL, right? Yeah, feeders. Basically, college is like the NFL's minor leagues. It's their minor leagues. That's where they get their players from. So that's why it's so big. Because they know they gotta invest a lot into the kids to get them on to the pro level.
SPEAKER_01Fair. Um do you want to do a quick am I the arsehole? I've found myself an Am I the Arsehole. Go for it, dude, whatever. Sorry, my brain apparently wants to do one of these because we've not done one in some time. It's been a bit. It it's been a what, sorry?
SPEAKER_03It hasn't, though, because we did one with Jake. Did we? Yeah, we did Am I the Asshole when Jake was on. So that's only like three episodes ago.
SPEAKER_01Oh. Shows how much I remember that episode. Well, obviously you forgot about it for clear reasons. Yeah, it's Jake.
SPEAKER_03I live with the. Well, I am going to um I am gonna post a video here now of a video you guys gotta see of Jake because Connor already posted it, but on his push-up videos, uh, Jake tried.
SPEAKER_05Connor tried to do a push-up with Jake. Fully laying on top of him. That went about as well as you could think.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's a lot of man. Uh he's I don't want to give away his weight on the internet, but is he's he's a heavy guy. He's a good sized guy. He's a good sized guy. Uh silly me for thinking that I'd be able to lift an extra fully grown man on my back. But I gave it a good go, as you're about to see. Enjoy.
SPEAKER_05Well, I don't need roughness yet. So I just broke my weight.
SPEAKER_02Oh, whoa, whoa. Push! Push! Push! No. Yeah. Ah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04There's like this little teeter of struggle in your arms.
SPEAKER_01Like it's like this little ah yeah yeah yeah, nope. Yep. And then I got fully pancaked. It was I felt the air leave my body. No part. Okay, right. Court is in session. Discord is in session. I don't know. Uh okay, let's go with this one. Nine days ago.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01Am I the asshole for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe. Uh I am waiting in the airport and I need to know if I fucked up or not. This week my daughter, she is in middle school, lost a classmate. I'm not gonna make the joke, because obviously that's a very mm-hmm, very serious matter. My daughter has not taken it well, and overall this is her first experience of someone she knows dying. The whole class was excused from school today, and the funeral is happening right now. I unfortunately could not be there. I tried, but my personal time off was denied, and we cannot lose this job. It's American then. Cool. I flew out I flew out on Wednesday night, and I am coming back now. Our daughter is a mess. She was friends with the girl that passed away. The plan was for my wife, she is unemployed at the moment, to take her to the funeral slash mass and just be there. My wife is more spiritual than the average person and hates all things with the dead. Funerals, viewing, and so on. This uh this one is only a mass funeral, no viewing. She believes in ghosts and will avoid funerals like the plague. We discussed it on Wednesday, and she said that she would take our kid and then go to the gravesite. I got a call from my daughter sobbing that she wasn't going to the funeral. My wife was refusing to take her. When I got her to answer my call, she told me that she can't do it and she is scared to go. I called up my mum and asked her to pick up my daughter and take her to the funeral. My mum left for work and took her. They are there now. I got a call from my wife after with her crying because my mum taught her a new one. The gist was my mum called her a bad parent and that it was and that it is so fucked up that she couldn't take out take our kid to the funeral of a classmate. She wants me to make my mum apologize, and I told her my mum was right. That this was something that our daughter needed, and she fucked up, that she wasn't acting like a parent because of her fear of the dead. All she needed to do was stay through mass. We got into a huge phone call argument, and she is calling me a huge dick. My mum is apparently getting texts also, and I told her not to let our daughter know that we are fighting and if she could look after her for the day. She agreed.
SPEAKER_02Hmm.
SPEAKER_03I don't Alright, what was the original question though?
SPEAKER_01Are they asking if the husband's the asshole or if the mother's Yeah, he's no, he's asking if he's the asshole for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up.
SPEAKER_03Um, I don't think so. I think beyond like paranoid, like frozen fear of a funeral or something like that. Like literally like petrified of it. Okay. Okay. But you already agreed. You said yes, which means you had already said yes that you were gonna put all of your stuff and your feelings aside for your child because you and your mate agreed this is what the child needs, and then you back out at the last minute, then yeah, you I think you did fuck up. I think you made a big mistake there in not allowing your child to go and grieve their friend if they wanted to go grieve their friend, right? That that's beyond you and any of your beliefs as a parent. Can I tell you how many things that I have done that I didn't fucking want to do for my children? Right. But they're your kids. Like you just you like this. You backburner it, you know, and you just go do it, take care of it.
SPEAKER_01Like this is gonna seem very, very small by comparison, but yesterday uh took the boys to uh softplay or a jungle gym, I think is the closest thing to we went to get a few drinks because they were thirsty. They both wanted uh a strawberries and cream milkshake thing, which I had last time we went there, and I liked it, and they liked it so much they wanted it this time. I ordered a cola slushy, because I wanted a cola slushy, and we can't go far wrong. The boys agreed and traded me my own drink for their strawberries and cream milkshakes, which fine, but I really wanted that cola slushy. But they they suddenly liked mine a lot more. Like my youngest was like, Daddy, why do you always get the better drinks? I don't know. But yeah, that's why I want it. Adorable. Yeah, it was, but I didn't I didn't get to drink any of my slushy thing.
SPEAKER_03No, but like you said, I mean sacrifice in comparison of the thing, but it's yeah, the sacrifice of it, right? Like it's the yeah, I really wanted that, but my kid wants it. And what is it really going to do to me in comparison to what it can do for them? You know what I mean? And just it Whatever.
SPEAKER_01But I think you know with with this, it's it's not so much that sh I mean, yeah, she let her own feelings get in the way, but it's more the fact that she broke a promise. Because as soon as she said, Yes, I'll do it, we're going. You that's it. That's that's a promise. Without saying I promise, that's a promise. Still a promise, yeah. Yeah, you you've broken your daughter's trust. That's that's not okay.
SPEAKER_03Sure in in deep ways, too. Like that you're not going to help me take care of something that's painful.
SPEAKER_01Like, no, but like this will probably be the biggest emotional thing that their daughter has had to come across. Like it even said he even said it's like her first time dealing with with death. Dealing with death, yeah. Um and yeah, for you to go, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll go, I'll take you to no not happening. That's deeply damaging. Fuck you for that one.
SPEAKER_03Uh well that one, and what was the because uh obviously follow-up questions, what you would like to know is like, okay, so then why what what was what did she tell her daughter was the reason that she wasn't gonna take her? Was she honest and it was because of her and she was being selfish in her own beliefs that she couldn't she didn't want to be around it, so she just wouldn't do it? Or like what? Uh or some BS excuse or something, you know what I mean? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Uh there's there's a lot of things. There's a lot of comments on this one. Uh but I don't think the I don't think the original posters put anything else. Uh there's yeah, there's no like edits or anything, it's just P people debating in the comments like this one. Yeah, the wife messed up. If it weren't for the OP calling his mum to take his daughter, she would have missed her friend's funeral. That would have been worse. No closure, no support. This would traumatise the kid if you also had her mother letting her down. Wife could have just called OP's mum herself. She really needs to talk to her daughter and apologize for the kid to see her mum backing out like that might cause some repercussions. Starting not to trust her own mum for starters. Exactly like we just said. You've broken the trust. Trust is trust is so fucking fragile. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And it's everything. And it is fragile with your kids. It is. I will tell you that it doesn't take much for your kids to break your trust, and and you don't like feeling I don't like feeling paranoid that I have to worry about things, or I have to feel like I need to look through any of their stuff to find stuff. And unfortunately, I have had those feelings before and done it, and I have found stuff, and then that's even worse. You know what I mean? But it's like to it's been a journey to gain that back. Um and and uh and it's going much better and it's going pretty well now. Like it's good. And it's all communication, people, like even with your kids, just be as open as you can and let them know that even if something is not a good situation and it is possible they can still get in trouble, that it's always better that they still tell you about it, talk to you about it, you guys work through it. I know it's not gonna happen all the time because kids are gonna be kids and they're gonna pull shit from their parents because every single one of you has done it. Yeah. Look at all those speaking of reaction videos, look at all those reactions of like when people when like adults then reveal stuff to their parents when they're in their like 60s to 80s about shit they did when they were kids. And just there's stuff that I will never tell my mom. And like she will there's a lot of stuff she's never gonna know and has no business knowing. Um, and and and not in a vain way there, but just like one, it is my life and my things, but there's also things she just doesn't need to know. It's not gonna benefit benefit her life at all to know that her child has done certain activities and things like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. No, that's that's fair. She doesn't need to know about all the times that I said I was staying over at a friend's house and then went and got drunk in a field somewhere. Oh, this is going on the internet. Sorry, mom.
SPEAKER_04I think my mom just assumes assumes that that all of that was happening.
SPEAKER_03I think she gets it now, you know what I mean? Uh at the time that my dad had to come and get me because I had fallen asleep in my car drunk. But to my credit, I had taken my keys out of the ignition because I knew I couldn't drive. So I drove like 20 feet down the street and I was like, nope. Yep. Pulled right over, put my car in park, put the e-brake on, took my keys out, and I took my keys and threw them all the way in the back, like as far as I could, because so I don't have control of the car. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Um yeah, officers came and found me there. Uh I was underage. And then they called my father instead of calling my mother. Mm-hmm. Is that better or worse? Oh, it's not good. Um, that one was like, and he like, as he told me, he's like, I'm like asleep, and he wakes me up and he's like, I called your father, got that off your license and all that in the car. And he's on his way, and I was like, dude, you what? Why do you call my mom, dude?
SPEAKER_02You know, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Once that event happened, she went, Oh. Now I have to accept it. And I was like, Mom, like, come. Like, look at me.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Right? Oh my goodness. Oh, sorry, that story was just so boring. Um so uh he asked you how you are, you just have to say that you're fine. What's the verdict on this one? Uh I don't think not the asshole. No, I don't he's I don't think he's the arsehole. Um could he have handled it slightly better? Probably. Yes. But is he the arsehole? No. No gable. Approved. Approved. Not the arsehole. Uh I think we've got time for we've got time for one more. Uh this is aiming to be a shorter episode due to recording schedules and busyness. Uh so yeah, this is going to be a shorter episode, but I think we've got time for one more. So I'm gonna I'm gonna just scroll here and you go ahead and tell me to stop whenever. You made me stop on an out of it. Brilliant.
SPEAKER_05Um par for the course on this show. Oh fucking right.
SPEAKER_01Everywhere. Uh okay. Am I the arsehole for not being happy at becoming an uncle?
SPEAKER_03Hmm. That's that that's so objectional because like Okay, the one underneath it.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Am I the arsehole for telling my sister she got what she deserved?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, let's hear that one.
SPEAKER_01And the person with the sister, yes, let's hear this. So my sister, 31 female, has been with her husband, 30 male, for eight years, married for three. My sister and I don't really get on very well. She has cheated on every single person she has ever been in a relationship with, and is very selfish and self-centered. If something doesn't revolve around her, she throws a tantrum, and if something if something she does isn't solely for her benefit, she doesn't do it. She is my sister, and I love her, but I try and avoid being around her as much as possible. However, her husband and I have been friends for years, as we were in the same year together at school. He's very different to my sister and would give the shirt off his back if it would help someone. Her and her husband separated recently, as my sister had an affair with her husband's best friend of twenty five years. Fuck's sake. Understandably, this crushed her husband, but he put on a brave face for the sake of their son, and hopefully to co parent civilly. I stayed out of it, didn't want to get sucked into the drama. I told both my sister and her husband that I hope they're okay, and that was that. Recently my sister came to visit me. I've lived two hundred miles away for seven years, and she's never once visited me before, even though she's been invited numerous times. And proceeded to rant about how the guy she is with now, the affair partner, has changed since they got together, and that he doesn't do anything around the house, won't find a job, etc, etc. He was already unemployed when they started the affair. And how she wishes she had just stayed with her husband, and how when she told him that, he laughed at her and said he didn't want her back. Good for him. I didn't want to hear it and told her as much told her as much, but she kept going. After about an hour, I eventually said, Well, you should have thought about that before you started shagging someone else. You brought this on yourself. My sister ended up leaving. My husband thinks what I said was fair enough, but my mum, who also had an affair on my father twenty years ago, thinks what I said was too harsh, and it's clear she regrets her behavior. So now I'm wondering, was what I said too harsh? Fuck no.
SPEAKER_02Fuck no.
SPEAKER_01It's such an easy one.
SPEAKER_03It's such reality. Yeah, you tried to fucking somebody else when you were married. It's all your fault. Yes, it's your fault. Like what? Yeah. No, there's no debate here at all. Just approved. Approved. 100%.
SPEAKER_01Hell no, you're not an asshole for that. You should have given her more. Uh somebody's somebody in the comments has said she doesn't regret her behavior. She doesn't like the consequences. She doesn't even seem to miss her ex husband just the things he used to do for her. God damn. Yeah. Right? No, three year old. Like exactly like a three-year-old. Uh I should probably get screenshots of these and send them so we have That'd be good. Yeah. Hey, at least I remembered now. Rather rather than like in a couple hours and going, ah shit. Uh I've got to scroll all the way up. And there's that. Well, let us know in the comments if you agree with our verdicts. I mean, I'd be I'd be interested to have a conversation with somebody that disagrees with us with our verdicts.
SPEAKER_03Because I think they're pretty I was just gonna say disagreeing debating is healthy. I'm okay with that. I'm happy to happy to c happy to conversate and have conversations about subjects and issues.
SPEAKER_01Just real quick, this is something that is so fundamentally wrong with the world at the minute. Is there is no room for debates. There is no room for discussions. It's either you're with me or you're against me. And oh my god, I'm bored of it. I am so, so bored of it. I don't know where it started, I don't know where it's come from, but please, please, can we not just be a little bit more tolerant of each other? Seriously? Like, you think me and this dickhead agree on everything? Fuck no. But do we have discussions about it? Yeah. Are we still best mates at the end of it? Absolutely, because you don't have to agree on everything.
SPEAKER_03That's just individual and and all everything that we Connor and I have been preaching, especially in season three, about humanity and mentality and all those things. It's just treat each other better, bit like, and I love that use of be more tolerant. Like it's it's okay, good and healthy for people to have different views and opinions, and that's what makes us great as a whole, is having the different thoughts and angles. Like Connor and I have said, like multiple people working on a project with different their and allowing to be uh their thoughts to be heard and all of that, and then explored by the group and then then take the best course of action has always been the best course of action for humans. Yeah. You know, instead of one set of, you know.
SPEAKER_02That pressure point.
SPEAKER_01You got yourself with that one, did you buddy? It was good. Well done, nice callback. Oh god. Uh yeah. Just be just be more tolerant in it. Like it doesn't it I'm sure we said it on one of the other episodes, one of the Ren reaction videos. It does it takes less effort to be nice to someone and just give them a smile than it does to be a cunt. Don't get me wrong, some people deserve you to be a cunt. That's fair. But if you go in with the cunt energy, we just no. No. Not for me. No. No. No. I was about to do uh consuela from Family Guy then.

Or hey, if you've got any any other suggestions of uh of quotes or things you would like redone in a different style with a different voice, then hey, you're in the right place. Just pop it in the comments because I'm sure between us we can probably sort you out. That might be in a fun way to do wheel of impressions. Could be, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Oh, what get yeah, get the viewers' comments, random quotes and comments, and then we read those in our in a in a random impression that the wheel picks that we have to read it in. That's not a bad idea.

SPEAKER_03Uh no, yeah. So the we switched that around. So the next episode will be with the special guests. Uh we all know. Let's be honest, we have like one recurring guest and one person that's actually willing to keep coming back. Uh other than now, because and that's because he's tied to us through contract.

I'm just gonna wash that down. Yes, we're having Tommy back. Yeah, Tommy's back. Um, yeah. He says he's got something special planned for us, but won't tell us what it is.

Our Dismas episode. Say it right. The Dismas. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. Why we have an executive producer?
unknownIt's me. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. You guys just look up in Hollywood about what the executive producers do versus what the producers do, and then that'll give you more of an idea of what's going on here. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, one of us is busy with other works.
SPEAKER_03And the other one can't be busy with other works because he's too busy doing the works so the other one can have work. Yep. Yep. Love you. Love you. Tommy's gonna be on the show. It's gonna be great. Uh we love having Tommy on. Uh he definitely brings chaos and brings a lot of fun and stuff with us. And we'll see what he's got in stored for us. Who knows?

SPEAKER_00You thought you could get rid of me. You tried so hard when I hacked into your little comment sections of your TikTok and YouTube. But guess what, Phyllis? I'm one step ahead of you. In fact, I'm probably five steps ahead of Connor in short legs. Anyway. You remember that place that you sent me? You know, temporarily, but you still sent me there. I hated it. It wasn't my favorite. And with that, I have full control of this whole thing right here. And guess where I'm gonna send you to. That's right. I'm sending you to the one place where you sent me with a click of a button. You're there. No, no last words. Well then see you in hell.
